Jarell Quansah has been one of the great success stories of the 2023/24 campaign, as has been demonstrated once again with James Pearce’s latest tweet this evening.
The Athletic journalist praised the £1.19m-valued (according to Football Transfer’s valuation system) footballer’s latest performance in the FA Cup clash against Southampton on X (formerly Twitter).
Quansah so good again tonight

The Merseysiders lead 1-0 at the break, despite a superb start from the Saints, courtesy of Lewis Koumas’ first senior goal for the side.

What do the stats say?
We’d argue the stats don’t quite reflect just how calm a presence the 21-year-old has been in the backline this evening.
The Academy graduate has been incredibly reliable in possession, completing 96% of his passes (52/54), according to stats compiled by Sofascore.
Quansah hasn’t made quite as many defensive contributions as centre-back partner Virgil van Dijk. Though, he has otherwise been pitch-perfect with his long passes against Southampton (3/3).
More of the same in the second-half please, Jarell!
